Overview

I don’t particularly believe in wishes or anything of the sort. Would be really cool if we could wish things into reality, don’t you think?

I think it’s fair enough to say that we all could use a wish. At the very least, three wishes. Two would probably make us selfish and a fourth one would leave us wanting more. At least that’s what I think. But assuming all wishes would come true, I know it’s impossible, but amuse me for a while here, I think maybe this is what I’d wish for.

First I’d wish that I met you earlier. My past experiences with girls were good, but if I met you first, it would have probably been the only experience I’d have had. I mean I wouldn’t have been perfect, I’m still not perfect but I’d probably not have had as many scars from past experiences as I do now. I’d have had the chance to grow with you and know what you were like when you were young. I imagine you were still as pretty. I’d have had the honour of knowing you for many more years and that would be my pleasure. I’d have learnt how to love you better.

Secondly, I’d wish that you saw yourself through my eyes. Oh man you’d never have a single insecurity in your life! You would truly see that you’re amazing, and talented, and stronger than you sometimes believe. You’d see you are beautiful in your own unmatched way. Maybe you’d also understand why it would be really easy to get lost in your eyes. You’d finally understand why I can barely get enough of you. Your smile would make you happy and anxious and give you butterflies all at once. You would know just how much you mean to me. You’d love you too without hesitation. You’d see that nothing I can write here would even come close to putting in words how precious you are to me. You’d know that you are enough just as you are.

Finally for my third wish, if I was to choose any of them to come true this one would be it. I’d wish that you would choose to be with me forever. You’d make me literally the happiest man alive. I’d work so hard at making sure you get the best version of me. I’d make sure you never regret that decision. I’d wake up to you beside me and that would be enough to keep me going all day and I’d look forward to coming home to you. I’d be there long enough to watch your dreams come true and mature to the person you have always wanted to be. I’d support, love and protect you. I’d never trade you for anything in the world.

Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe wishes do come true. And there is a magic lamp and a funny genie ready to grant wishes my wishes. Until then I hope that one day I’ll be ticking this stuff off my list of blessings.
